A school principal was given more than what he bargained for when he tried to caution a student, but ended up with injuries.
Three teenagers involved in a vicious fight were caught on camera while their principal fruitlessly tried to resolve the matter by holding one of the fighters. Instead, the old man was slammed to the floor multiple times by the irate student.
The 40-second clip was shot by a student's mobile phone on Monday at Florin High School in Sacramento. The fight broke out in the school cafeteria which caused serious commotion. The three teenagers were fighting because of a relationship issue involving a female classmate.

Sacramento County Sheriff's spokesman Tony Turnbull said, "There are fights that happen on campus. It's inevitable. We rarely have instances up to this ... extent."
